Center of Attention Somewhat

Two people out of several billion people in the whole present day. These two individuals' cross paths at certain locations on a certain day of the week, at a certain hour of the day and stop at the same spot, look up and their eyes meet for the first time.

They stop what they were doing at that very moment, as their eyes meet, the gaze that they share is so wonderful and mesmerizing, it's as if time stands still for them and only them.

These two souls of two almost identical individuals, are immediately drawn towards each other, as if the hand of fate is making it clear that this is their moment, and their destiny is sealed in this point of history.

They proceed to edge their way towards each other, slowly at first, then as they become closer, things are easily noticed in one way or another. First, it's the types of glasses they both wear, then the similar suits they both are wearing, even down to the type of briefcase with their initials printed on them. They begin to speak but are interrupted by someone wanting to pass them on the bus both boarded.

It was after this, they were speaking quickly yet hush, they slowed down to allow the other to speak first. They did their introductions, he was James Farrier, hers was Janet Falso. Both noticed they had the same initials and they both were lawyers' assistants. He was moving up the corporate ladder to a Junior Assistant, which she was taking classes to become a lawyer herself.

James and Janet were both blushing at the idea of how close they were in all the many things, and this was only the beginning. It seemed like a fresh start for both. Both being widowed, both loving the same places to hang, both loving the same kind of music and even only recently celebrating Valentine's Day alone.

They decided to find a seat so they could talk more, but before they knew it, they had arrived at the same apartment building, which was the same distance from where they both worked at. It became more apparent that they were meant to be. He wanted to invite her to his apartment, but she asked him first, and he accepted.

James and Janet entered the elevator, then she pushed her floor button, which was on the same floor as his was. They got off and entered the hallway, heading past his apartment, and stopped at hers which was right next door to his.

She placed the key in the lock and opened her door, they both entered her apartment, which was incredibly open and very well furnished like his. She liked the same decorative items and furniture to match, being very tastefully done too, which he was told they had used the same decorator and interior designer.

She offered him a drink of wine, walked into her bedroom to change clothes, then exited to then turn on some music, relaxing and it was Cole Porter. She walked over to him, presented her hand, and shyly asked him to dance with her. They danced slowly and were dancing this way for what seemed like an eternity.

They parted and then leaned in for a first kiss that was magical and sent a spark filled charge all throughout their bodies, it was nothing to make them separate from each other, for they were in a unified embrace, moving towards the bedroom.

They fell on the bed, and were still intwined as one, while they started to make passionate love, being like this for an exceptionally long time. The only thing you heard next was both chatting and sharing many things that were learned from that first moment. They agreed to part for the night, of course after their first encounter and how it had worked out as it did.

James and Janet were sure they would meet up again, yet this was never to be. These two lost souls had made the moment a reality, then they decided to leave this memory as it was in the present. They were both never seen together or heard from after this.

"How can one know what will happen next, and never try to make it to become more?" "How can two people never find their way back to the start and then restart once more?"

This is one question that may or may not ever be answered, at least not at this moment and in this place and at this time. The two were seen around the city, but it was as if this had been one or both dreams metaphorically not literally, so this never happened at all in the first place.

The meeting of chance, the connection of destiny, the discovery of fate, and the making dreams of reality, that which allows most to long for such to happen, then for some it never does happen, more like wrong place at the wrong time. Being in unusual places at the same time but on different days.

We all long to find true love, to find something in someone that will show us that there is someone for everyone. It can be that now we wish for it, and yet it may not happen until later, or may never happen at all. If one believes in past lives, then they believe they have been in the same situation before, yet in other times and with other people.

This is something that can cause the same pain and the same heartache, repeatedly. Which can lead to other things that may end in one's life ending. The result will be the same no matter how you start out, will repeat itself in harsh ways and in subtle ways that will allow one to feel there is no hope for tomorrow.

It was an idea of what could happen if two people met and followed through from the beginning to the end or what they considered the end of being together. Some people are only meant to be together only for a moment not a lifetime.
